Unable to boot XP after installing Mandrake
This is a discussion about Unable to boot XP after installing Mandrake in the Everything Linux category; I had a 120GB hard drive with Windows XP and I decided to install Mandrake 10. 0. I created a new partition with PartitionMagic 8. 0 Then I installed Mandrake and it worked fine. I'm a real beginner with Linux and I have an annoying problem.
I had a 120GB hard drive with Windows XP and I decided to install Mandrake 10.0.
I created a new partition with PartitionMagic 8.0
Then I installed Mandrake and it worked fine.
I'm a real beginner with Linux and I have an annoying problem.
When I tried to boot Window and I was unable to load it.
I got a blue screen and a message saying "autochk not found - Skipping autocheck" and that it rebooted.
From Linux I can see everything on my Windows partition and even use the files so the partition seems to be OK.
I'm using lilo as a boot loader.
this is the different partitions I have :
Mount point: swap
Device: hda4
type: Linux Swap (0x82)
Start: sector 63
Size: 50MB
Formatted
mounted
------------------------------
Mount point: /mnt/win_c
Device: hda1
DOS drive letter: C (just a guess)
type: FAT32 (0xb)
Start: sector 1028223
Size: 5,9GB
Formatted
mounted
------------------------------
Mount point: /mnt/win_d
Device: hda2
DOS drive letter: D (just a guess)
type: NTFS (or HPFS) (0x7)
Start: sector 13510665
Size: 98GB
Formatted
mounted
-------------------------------
Mount point: /
Device: hda3
type: Linux native (0x83)
Start: sector 219737070
Size: 9.7GB
Formatted
mounted
Partition booted by default (for MS-DOS boot, not for lilo)
-------------------------------
Can anyone help ?
